Eurocell helps provide better sight lines
Nationwide Windows, a Eurocell fabricator based in Rugby, has won a major contract with Durkan Limited to supply windows to the East Dulwich Estate, a major Decent Homes regeneration programme.
In addition, the company supplied the French doors which were all part of letting as much natural light and fresh air from the adjacent countryside into these properties as possible.
The project comprises the original hospital buildings, at the centre of the development that will be converted to houses and apartments which will be surrounded by two, three, four and five bedroom new build properties.
With it surrounding a conservation area, the requirement was that the new build properties should be in keeping with the existing hospital building and the local area.

Eurocell makes it a hat-trick with Cyden Homes
Eurocell Building Plastics has recently won a major new contract to supply three Cyden Homes sites with roofline products.
David Wilson Homes therefore chose vertical sliding sash windows on this development to complement the original sash windows on the 19th Century hospital buildings.
A representative from David Wilson Homes North Midlands explains: "The vertical sliding sashes supplied by Ford Windows using Eurocell profiles were perfect for this development because they created the closest match to the original sash windows in the hospital buildings".
"The homeowners will really appreciate the design of these properties, particularly the bay sliding sashes windows, because they will let the maximum amount of light and fresh air into the properties all the year round." Maximising the amount of daylight within a home is becoming an increasingly popular trend, as homeowners seek the benefits of lighter and brighter homes.
The opening on the vertical sliding windows is perfect for keeping the home cool in summer.
This effect is achieved by partially opening both the top and bottom sashes which lets clean fresh air enter through the lower sash whilst the warm stale air exits through the open top sash.
The ability to constantly keep the air circulating on hot summer days will ensure these properties remain cool and comfortable.
During the winter the Low E glass, in addition to the precision engineered profiles, which eliminate the problems associated with loose fitting sashes, will ensure they remain thermally efficient during the colder months.
The Eurocell vertical sliding window, fabricated from the Eurologik system, is designed around a 70mm front to back dimension making it ideal for both new build and renovations.
The window is one of the few vertical sliding sash designs to have British Board of Agrement (BBA) accreditation, which provides the customer with important data on durability, installation and compliance with Building Regulations.
The system has an internally glazed sculptured bead and equal sightlines to create an attractive appearance both inside and out.
The highly engineered profiles ensure a precision fit of the sashes within the frame which improves air tightness and thermal performance.
In addition, both sashes on the window are inward tilting for ease of cleaning.
Martin Saunders, Sales Director at Eurocell Profiles, comments: "Our role is to make life for our fabricators as easy as possible and allow them to source all their window, accessories and door profiles from us, enabling them to concentrate on providing industry leading service to their customers".
"We introduced our BBA accredited vertical slider to help our fabricators win new business." The vertical sliding sash is supplied with a range of decorative options including decorative horns and Georgian bar fixing, both of which were used to great effect on this development.
